LITERARY NOTES.

Although not a very distant
neighbor, the Republic of Venezue-
Ia is little known to North Ameri
cans. A land of perpetual sum-
msr, it presents many varied at.
fractions to the tourist which are to
be pleasantly set forth by DR.. W.
F. Hutchinson IN the American
Magazine for August, with a por-
trait of the renowned Venzuelian n
President, General Guzman BIanco
"a Few English Wayside Birds,
as seen by American eyes, will be
sketched by Theodore II. Mead, in
the American Magazine for August
The article will, 1t is hoped, show
that most of the common birds q
England are CHEEKY little fellows
with none of the wees of the de-
tested sparrow.
Under the title of "Vlllage
Types" Julian Hawthorne will pre-
sent in the American Magazine fol
August, sketches of the more noted
characters that are usually to be
ound in our small rural communi
ties.
